...or I think so. GW produced some eastern looking miniatures in mid eighties - ninjas, samurais, etc. Some of these oriental influences can be seen in some Undead miniatures too. Some zombies and - especially - skeletons are clearly made with warhammer Nippon and Khitai in mind. Today's miniature is inspired by these lands too I think. Zombie is armed with kind of Malaysian sword or war sickle called kudi - it looks oriental enough to me. As one of just few old zombies it has a shield plug - one of the old, varied plastic ones which are not really suited for my current incarnation of my army. I decided to make my own shield then, resembling coffin lid. I'm rather pleased with final effect, maybe I will write short tutorial about making such shields... Painting - dip and highlights, there is slightly more green added this time too, me make stronger discolorations of patches of rotting skin.
